Santorini WOW! - Review of Avra Hotel

Santorini WOW!

Set amidst well-tended gardens, Hotel Avra features a nice size pool with sun terrace and sun loungers, just 100 metres from Kamari Beach in Santorini. It offers free Wi-Fi in its public areas and air-conditioned units with a private balcony.Our room view was over the garden & very quiet.. only 100 yds from the Aegean Sea. Equipped with a fridge, a fan and a TV with satellite channels.Private bathroom was with a hairdryer.We started our day with a buffet breakfast served daily in the dining area. Restaurants, bars and shops can be found within a short walk from the property. Overall we had a fantastic time & its a very nice place to stay with very friendly staff.More

I stayed there together with my fiancée last September and I can recommend it to anyone. It was not expensive (I know it was September but still), we had at our disposal a room and a kitchen, everything clean, location is great and a guy whose name unfortunately do not remember at the moment, helped us with information like moving around the island, what to see there, some local trips you name it. Really great.

Oh and I would have forgotten, it's almost on the axle of the runway of the nearby airport so the airplanes were landing once in a while during the day. It was not an issue for us as we love just looking at the airplanes (in fact we live at an axle of runway in Warsaw) and love the beautiful sound that goes with it :) but for some of you it might be a different story, so I've mentioned it.

Can't really say anything about any fitness center as we didn't use one.

I'm 18 and stayed at Hotel Avra for 2 weeks last month with 2 of my friends and we simply had the best time, largely due to the hotel and its fabulous staff! As soon as we arrived at the hotel we felt welcomed and the receptionist Spiridoula was more than happy to help with any and all our questions. Throughout our stay she was intent on us having the best holiday possible and told us all the best places to visit and things to do, providing endless maps and information on her beautiful island. Her friendly and cheery disposition really did make our holiday!

The pool was lovely and clean with enough sun loungers to go around. The hotel had a beautiful little garden with space to sit out in.

In our room we had 3 single beds which fitted just fine. The rooms was beautifully clean with the maid coming every morning. The room also had a lovely little balcony with table and chairs to sit out on with a nice drink before heading out for dinner!

The hotel was in a brilliant location, just a one minute walk from the beach and a long strip of beach restaurants, all of which served delicious food and plenty of Greek dishes to try and once again all the staff were extremely friendly and professional. We went to a few karaoke nights which were such good fun and plenty of bars for cocktails! Despite the hotels close proximity to the beach, because it was situated at the end of the restaurant strip it was in no way noisy at night. The hotel is a easy 10 minute walk to the bus stop and main town where you can get a bus for about €2 to Fira (the capital of the island) and from there you can catch buses to explore the whole island cheaply, easily and throughout the whole day.The hotel is only a few doors down from a mini market where you can get bottled water and all basic commodities.

I visited the Avra in July with two friends and was pleasantly surprised by the hotel! From the exterior the hotel is very inviting with a well maintained garden and a lovely, clean swimming pool with plenty of sun loungers. The hotel location is perfect, just minutes away from the beach and a strip of seaside restaurants and bars. There is also a mini-market nearly next door, which was great for picking up a bottle of wine to drink on our balcony before heading out to dinner! The hotel staff were friendly, particularly Spiridoula who is a real asset to the hotel. Spiridoula gave us plenty of information and tips for what to do and see during our stay and without her guidance our holiday would not have been the same!! She was more than happy to assist us with any of our queries and was on hand to recommend places to eat too! All in all we had a fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone considering Santorini!

Having just come back from the avra yesterday I would definitely stay again, rooms cleaned every day staff lovely and friendly , we found a lovely local bar straight out of the hotel across the road and first right lovely food and drinks a bit cheaper than the sea front , he even bought the six of us a present when we went to say good bye, we did spend a fortune on drinks which were extortionate ,but still had a great holiday , beautiful scenery too , forgot to mention breakfast which was continental, toast fruit yoghurt ham n cheese but enough to put you on till dinner time , the boat trip to the hot springs was enjoyable but didn't make it up to the volcano too steep for me.

This hotel is in a very good location in Kamari, it is just around 5 minutes walk to the beach.The LOLOS tavernas, shops and mini markets are very near by. It is around 10 minutes walk to go to the bus stop and Kamari tours. Our apartment was on the ground floor at the back of the hotel. The apt was complete in all respects, two tidy rooms, with air conditioner, a small balcony, tv, a small fridge kitchen with all utensils and cutlary crockery. Avra has a beautiful garden and pool. The breakfast is simple and basic with ham, cheese, biscuits, cakes, toast, bread, juice, hot chocolate, coffee and tea, sometimes they provide egg, tomato and cucumber.

Room Tip: Choose the apartments with 2 bhk. they are excellent.
